Abstract
Foil pack for paper tissues. Packs for stacks of folded paper tissues (10) are made of very thin plastic foil or film. For easier usage, these packs have lately been provided with tear-open aids, especially in the region of a front wall (11) of the cuboidal pack. In order to open and reclose the pack, a tear-open flap (22) is defined by perforation lines (23, 24, 25) in the region of the front wall (11), which can be opened and reclosed with the aid of a covering adhesive flap (37). In order to increase the function value of the foil pack, the tear-open flap (22) limited by side perforations (23, 24) is narrower than the front wall (11), especially such that a recess (32) of sufficient size for extracting a paper tissue (10) is formed. Adjoined to the perforations of the tear-open flap (22) is a transverse perforation (28, 29) in the region of a front edge (26), which is opened by way of lifting the end wall of the pack. Herewith, an extraction opening (21) extending across the whole width is formed. With this embodiment of the tear-open aid it is of advantage to design the pack such that folding flaps of the end wall 16 are separated by means of punch cuts (43, 44) and can thus be…
